We'd simply be trading one young star for another and 20 games in people would be dissecting his game and looking to deal him too.

well said. and that star will likely need more than what demar's making to get him here, and we don't know if he'll even like the place, or just bolt at the end of his contract. Not to mention you're trading a piece of the core so outright your losing chemistry, and we don't know how his mentality will fit in with the core minus demar. There's too many uncertainties, just to go for a guy who's very similar to Demar at this stage. You don't make changes for the sake of making a change, it's not the BC era anymore.
